Procrastinating? Do you have ANY idea how much work goes into a skin? And guys come on, there are REAL LIFE issues to think about here, Ollie has school to think of and when he's not doing school work, he's moderating SSD ie NO TIME FOR MAKING SKINS. Stop complaining. You'll get your new skin. But you're going to have to wait for it. Be patient like everybody else and stop crying like a baby because you think SSD needs a new skin right now this very second. It doesn't. You makes a fair point. The thing is, why does oliver have to make the skin? There are some pretty good skin makers on here...

Come on, what are we, some acient satanic cult which will perish if they don't stick by 'traditions' or a lowly graphic design community who just wants a new skin?

only some want a new skin And I personally would prefer it being made by the staff.

If non-admins make the skin then the people who do usually end up being promoted to admins, and then there's too many admins, and then the members all want to be admins as well, and civilisation collapses.

Why not do a community project, make a skin? There are some awesome designers on here

That would be a nice idea... but it probably wouldn't be suited for an SSD version... just make it like a PreMade. Even more radical idea... Skin Development Coalition

That's not how SSD works, people don't get suddenly premoted to Admins..or any spot for that instance! Why not do a community project, make a skin? There are some awesome designers on here Suggested before, turned down all for good reasons. I think this should be locked now, this whole issue seems to be going in circles

That's not how SSD works, people don't get suddenly premoted to Admins..or any spot for that instance! *quickly before topic gets locked* I know that's not how it's supposed to work, but quite often there's a lot of members that go "Hey, this guy made the skin, how come he isn't an admin?" and so it either gets a bit negative or it does end up as I said But yeah, it was a bit extreme

I personally think that it should be a staff project, not an admin only one. We have quite a few really good designers in the staff offices and I think we could pull off something really sweet. But meh.

Stop it.
This idea has been stated.
It has been stated again and again and again.
The skin will come when it comes, but to sit here and think that Oliver and I are just off having parties or procrastinating is ridiculous.
If you had any idea how much of our lives are already eaten up by simply MAINTAINING the boards, you wouldn't even think something that offensive. Do you know how long Oliver has to spend in Show Off just to make sure that every one gets at least one good rate? Or how long I spend putting out the Herald every month? There are other things to SSD, more important things to SSD, than a skin. I'm sorry we have so far chosen to maintain those instead.
When we have time, it will be made.
Until then, it's pointless to keep suggesting it.

Exactly, it's not laziness, it's not procrastinating. As I'm sure many of you have around this time of year, there are exams, important ones, final ones that determine my whole life. I'm not going to sacrifice those any further by sitting down to make a skin.
The reason we don't have members or other staff create it, as it gives them the ownership of the design legally, meaning they could really make whatever changes they liked, they could take it down, it's simply not a sensible option.
